Kvadrat Suunta Fabric

Suunta is a knitted uphol­stery textile by Studio Truly Truly, inspired by the vibrant rows of blooms seen in Dutch flower fields. Its name — Finnish for ​“direc­tion” — reflects both the linear rhythm of the design and its subtle play with move­ment and perception.

The textile features a ribbed jacquard construc­tion combin­ing wool and recy­cled poly­ester yarns in varying hues. This creates intri­cate chevrons across the surface and adds depth through the inter­play of color and texture. As Suunta stretches seam­lessly over furni­ture, its ribs reveal shift­ing tones that appear to hover along edges, evoking a soft, luminous effect.

From a distance, the textile’s color­ful stripes resem­ble the ordered rows of flowers viewed from above. Up close, layers of contrast­ing yarns emerge, enhanc­ing its rich, dimensional surface.

The palette, devel­oped by Studio Truly Truly, explores nature’s dynamic contrasts — balanc­ing bright floral hues with leafy neutrals and earthy tones. The design reflects the studio’s fasci­na­tion with how color behaves in nature, where context can heighten or soften a shade’s intensity.

Despite its soft hand, Suunta offers high dura­bil­ity. The textile achieves an excel­lent Martin­dale rating through a precise produc­tion method in which each row is knitted with a single needle, placing the strongest yarns on the exte­rior for added performance.

Like all Kvadrat Febrik knitted textiles, Suunta provides excel­lent stretch and is ideal for uphol­ster­ing organic shapes, combin­ing tactile comfort with bold, directional design.
